I just used wine and it seems to work.

What is the difference between avx, sse4,  sph ?   

I am running an intel core I5 on ubuntu with the experimental client, what is the best settings for me?

Also I assume when running the experimental client you dont need to put in -poolip=ptsmine.beeeeer.org -poolport=1337 or that?

Use AVX for i5's.
Here's my command line to help you out:

ptsminer_avx_intel.exe PTS_address_here  4 28 avx
                                                                      |   |   |
                                                         # of cores |   |
                                   use 1024MB of RAM/thread |
                                                                   use AVX
Just replace PTS_address_here with your address and run it. this will work if you have a quad core i5 and at least 6 GB of RAM.

Yes, I have the satellite connection. Ping at the time of this post was about 900 ms, which is nice considering we have 2 feet of snow and it's still snowing.

My brother can play Runescape and Mario Kart 7 without issues over my satellite internet...

Xolo, I finally figured out why my miner stops sending shares! See the pic below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7OL6MIZst3YTTAtd2hDZWFILWc/edit?usp=sharing

The miner found 2 collsions, but only sent one. After that, the miner doesn't send anymore collisions to the server, and it found the next collisions (that it doesn't send) within seconds of each other for some reason.
So it looks like my miner finds collisions to fast for it to send or something?

@all:
i removed the payout barrier (still some people have to reach the minimum value for a valid transaction (0.0001 PTS))
(it will probably be re-activated once all abandoned addresses are gone)

too many PMs about abandoned addresses & complains about "stuck" payouts

- xolokram

ps. this will be next

Nice, that will stop the cheaters, but what will that mean for me and my troubled miner? Will my share value go down because it fails to hand in its work?

EDIT: can I use the older version of the pts miner still? Or will the server not count the collisions it finds? (like version 0.5 or 0.4)

I may be speaking out of turn, but AFAIK, there was no problems continuing to use the .5a Hotfix1 version, it just doesnt have the AVX/SSE4 instruction set code. I go back and use it when i am troubleshooting an issue on the .7 miner(to eliminate hardware as a cause).  I generally don't see the need to go back to the .4 or earlier versions.

Hope that helps!

Thanks! You mention that the new 0.7 version gives you no issues in Windows... Is anyone else having this issue where the miner fails to send the collisions to the server?

@xolokram

EDIT: I see you made a new miner for Windows, I'm testing it now, but just a heads up, the issue below still aplies to the 0.5a miner.

What's up?  I have some unfortunate news, the earlier "rejection" problem I listed is occurring again, this time using the 0.5a 64 bit miner!

The 0.5a version has never done this before but now it too is not sending the shares to the server...
I'm not sure if this is my internet, or the server... I am using a satellite connection with at least 700ms ping times, but this has never happened in the old 0.2 and 0.4 versions.

Other than that, I wouldn't mine at any other pool! Great job for a one man show xolo!

Hey Silfax!

So coingrounds is down for a bit?
